Sam and Kurt reconditioned fur (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

muskrat

'fur' is the definition.
(muskrat is a kind of fur)

'sam and kurt reconditioned' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'reconditioned' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'sam' put after 'kurt' is 'kurtsam'.
'kurtsam' anagrammed gives 'MUSKRAT'.

(Other definitions for muskrat that I've seen before include "Large, smelly North American rodent" , "North American water rodent - ark must (anag)" , "Rodent prized for its fur" , "Large aquatic rodent" , "Vole-like animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
